“And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you.’” (Matthew 24:4)
We are living in an age of deception. JB Shurk, writing in the American Thinker calls it an “Age of Fakes.” He provides examples: Fake news, meat, genders, insurrections, women & Russian collusion, to name a few.[i] Truth has become relative to persons – and therefore we have no TRUTH at all. Scripture warns that this will be a key factor in leading mankind to its’ own destruction by preparing the way for the rise of Antichrist. “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thessalonians 2:9-12)
We are living in a society that ‘has not the love of the truth.’ And so, we revel in our own hubris devising plans and schemes that we cannot fulfil. America was once a nation that sought God. Now it is a nation that flaunts His decrees, thumbs its’ nose at His laws and pursues evil in many forms. This is a recipe for national disaster. The US & the West, is right now, pursuing policies contrary to our own self-interest. [Open borders, profligate spending, seeking war with Russia, to name a few.] This is not unique in history. Rather, it is a pattern among empires in decline. The notable historian Am The arrogance of those in power can be traced back all the way to the Trojans who wheeled a wooden horse into there city. It became the instrument of their defeat. In the case of America, she traced it to the hubris regarding the conduct of the Viet Nam War, concluding that it undermined the posture of American innocence. And so, we march on in arrogance, chasing goals without regard to the truth of our situation. We will look at just some of these failures to perceive and pursue both rationality and moral truth.
PURSUING WARS & RUMORS
- French President Macron has been pushing for a European military presence in Ukraine. This has not been embraced by most of Europe’s leaders. German Chancellor Scholtz has issued a strong NEIN to that proposal. But now, it seems, France is moving ahead without NATO. Macron and the French parliament have approved a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine, independent of the NATO alliance. But what happens if and when French troops in Ukraine are attacked by Russia. Will Paris seek to activate NATO’s Article 5 for collective self-defense? And Hal Turner reports that “POLAND will send their troops to protect the Ukraine Border with Belarus, thus freeing up tens-of-thousands of Ukraine troops to go to the front lines.”[ii] Both contingents would go to Ukraine to occupy rear positions, freeing up Ukrainian troops for the front lines.
- This was followed by the release of three “confidential defense reports” published by the French magazine Marianne that detailed the weakness of the Ukrainian forces. “Several French soldiers, interviewed by Marianne, said they had ‘fallen out of the closet.’ ‘Let’s not kid ourselves, in the face of the Russians, we are an army of majorettes!’”[iii] The overall conclusion of the defense reports is that Ukraine knows that it cannot win. From Redacted: “The report shows that the Ukrainian army is ill trained, ill equipped and ill staffed. One translation of this article says this: ‘Zelensky would need 35,000 men per month, he’s not recruiting half of that, while Putin draws from a pool of 30,000 volunteers per month,’ observes a military officer returned from Kiev. In terms of equipment, the balance is just as unbalanced: the failed offensive of 2023 ‘tactically destroyed’ half of Kiev’s 12 combat brigades.”
- On March 12, the Pentagon was operating six E-6 Mercury aircraft over the United States. These are “Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications” planes which can be used to facilitate the launch of America’s land-based ICBM[iv] These are also referred to as ‘Doomsday Planes’ and there were six of them in the air at the same time. At the same time the US was transmitting a large number of EAMs or Emergency Action Messages to American forces across the globe. On March 13, Russian President Putin “ warned the West on Wednesday Russia was technically ready for nuclear war and that if the U.S. sent troops to Ukraine, it would be considered a significant escalation of the conflict.”[v]
- Watching events unfold, Slovakian Prime Minister Fico had this dire view of the situation. “The West sees that, despite significant assistance, despite anti-Russian sanctions, Ukraine is simply not capable of winning. And if we send military personnel from the EU and NATO to Ukraine, all we can do is lie doomed on the balcony with cognac and a cigar, waiting for the world apocalypse.”[vi]
- In an example of unlimited hubris and a lack of understanding, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Bob Bauer, “issued a stark warning to civilians in Western countries, advising them to brace for a possible ‘all-out war’ with Russia.”
-
The AP along with other sources are reporting that the Houthis claim to have acquired hypersonic missiles that can travel Mach 8, have tested one such missile and intend to produce more. This would be a game-changer endangering US Naval Forces in the region. The Houthis intend to use the missiles to target shipping in the region, American vessels and the State of Israel. They intend to launch attacks “in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, and to target sites in Israel.”[vii] [viii] The US does not yet claim to have hypersonic missiles nor an effective defense against such weapons.
- World Israel News: “Al-Masirah TV aired footage of a Houthi exercise simulating the invasion of southern Israel, dubbed ‘Jerusalem is Our Land of the Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey.’”
THE COST OF OPEN BORDERS
Suffer The Children – Muckraker.com carried a damning report about CHILD TRAFFICKING and how the US government at minimum enabled its’ continuance by financing its’ operations. Since Biden took office nearly 500k children have been trafficked in the US. “They are transported via mass human smuggling routes, such as the Darién Gap jungle, and onboard Mexico’s ‘train of death’. After detention by border patrol, unaccompanied children are transferred to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement…. O.R.R. then works to place these children with sponsors across the country. Sponsors ideally are relatives or family friends already residing in the U.S. However, due to questionable vetting procedures, it is not uncommon for children to end up in the hands of human traffickers. Since 2021, one-third of the children who have been placed with a sponsor have never been heard from again, while others have fallen victim to sex and labor trafficking. Some children have no sponsor and are instead handed to government-backed foster homes.” Children are delivered to these homes in the middle of the night. The foster homes make millions of dollars off the government. Muckraker: “Three of the four homes that we witnessed children being delivered to have faced serious sexual assault allegations. According to a New York Post article ‘At least 28 alleged victims from the Children’s Village have come forward…The alleged victims describe brutal attacks from older, stronger kids at Children’s Village, as well as staffers, including being groped, beaten, forced into oral sex and anally raped’”…. “The Children’s Village continues to receive 10s of millions of dollars in federal funding.” At St Christophers Inc, one employee “sexually abused” a victim over 100 times which resulted in a pregnancy that was terminated.
Here are some stats that should shake us all up. The best estimates say that “60% of all child sex trafficking cases involve children from foster care or group homes.” Between 2000 and 2018, 114,000 foster kids went missing and had their cases closed, unfound. Finally, “85,000 unaccompanied children have gone missing since 2021,” when Biden took office. And the money still flows – even to foster homes with a track record of sexual abuse and those under investigation.[ix] [x]
The Next Wave Commeth – The island nation of Haiti is a hot mess. Gang violence has exploded. The Prime Minister resigned and fled to Puerto Rico. The US will be sending humanitarian aid and support for UN troops there. US Marines were sent to secure the embassy. “Armed gangs orchestrated jailbreaks from Haiti’s two largest prisons, resulting in more than 4,500 inmates escaping.” And with all the chaos, the US is anticipating a move toward mass migration – via ships of course, with the target country being the United States. “ The United States military is prepared to send Navy vessels to counter an anticipated mass migration of Haitians into Florida.” Rep Matt Gaetz (R) (FL) is anticipating a fresh “wave” of immigrants. He is concerned with preparing “for that wave, and to ensure that these people are not paroled into the United States, as the administration has done with people on the southern border, but instead, are repatriated back at the dock at Port au Prince?”[xi]
GOVERNMENT STATS LIES
It happens every month. The Bureau of Labor Statistics announces how many jobs were created last month. Most of the time the number is quite impressive. In February, the number given for the previous month was 353k. That’s huge. But then, lo and behold, when the next month rolls around, a revised number comes out – and it is ALWAYS lower. So this time they reduced the number downward by 124k. And that number is huge. Now, the new number for January 2024 is 229k. Quite the difference! But the administration has already taken all the credit, enjoyed all the applause and the only people that even notice are geeks like me. Well, it has happened again.
The new report is out for February. The first number we are being given is that 275k jobs were created. Not too shabby. But remember, it will be adjusted downward next month. It’s just part of the game that’s played. But here’s something you will find when you go a little deeper into the report. The number of native-born workers actually dropped by 560k. “And over the past 3 months, the number of native-born workers has fallen by a whopping 2.4 million.” But there’s more. The BLS is now saying that in just one month, the month of February, foreign-born workers, immigrants both legal and illegal, added 1.2 million jobs.
Michael Snyder writes: “ In February, 6,458,000 Americans were considered to be officially “unemployed”.
If that number was accurate, that would be good news. But another 100,285,000 Americans were considered to be “not in the labor force” in February. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106,743,000 Americans that are not working. In other words, nearly 107 million Americans do not have a job right now. They aren’t imagining things. A 2023 report on pay trends from ZipRecruiter showed 48% of 2,000 US companies surveyed lowered pay for certain roles. The middle class is being systematically ripped to shreds.”[xii]
And it’s even a little worse than that. The method that the government uses to measure jobs growth is something called the Establishment (payrolls) Survey. The Household (actual employment) Survey is much more accurate. “The Household survey found that the number of actually employed workers dropped for the third straight month (and 4 in the past 5), this time by 184K (from 161.152K to 160.968K).”[xiii]
Quick review: The administration claimed to create 275k jobs. The number of employed actually dropped by 184k. The difference between those two numbers is 459k. That’s the size of the lie!
There’s one other thing. All the net growth jobs in the last year, since February of 2023 – has been in the part time sector. That is up by 870k jobs. Full time positions are down by 97k.
